If you have a thrown rod, you will have a loud rhythmic banging noise that changes frequency with the engine RPM speed. The sound will be quite like the sound when banging two hammers together. You will also have extremely low or no oil pressure.
Worn out tie rod ends can cause the front wheels to shake or wobble and emit a hard knocking sound when brakes are applied, especially while driving at high speeds.
